The gradSERU Survey is a comprehensive, longitudinal study initiated by the Center for Studies in Higher Education at the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Minnesota’s Office of Institutional Research.
The purpose is to try to answer questions about the relationship between graduate education experiences, program characteristics, and development outcomes of master's and doctoral students at leading research universities across the globe.
gradSERU is an invaluable method being adopted by research institutions to better understand and improve the experiences of graduate students in higher education.
Designed to provide comparative benchmarks to help educators understand student experiences, gradSERU provides the contextual information necessary to meaningfully improve graduate education.
Leading research universities around the world are invited to participate in the gradSERU survey.
Since 2017—the project’s inaugural year—twelve universities in North America and five universities international universities have signed up to administer gradSERU on their campuses to help better understand the experiences of their graduate and professional students.
